INTRODUCTION TO USING A DIGITAL RADIO ADAPTER
The Adapt range of Digital radios have been designed specifically with ease of use in mind, it
is recommended NOT to change the default settings, which have been carefully
selected to give the best performance for day to day use.
Basic operation.
The Adapt DAB radio will automatically perform a full scan when first turned on, so the
supplied Antenna must be correctly installed and connected to the DAB Adapter before
connecting the Car Power Cable. Follow the in-vehicle installation instructions on page 12 for
information on how to correctly install your DAB adapter.
Automatic Start / Stop Technology. The DAB adapter senses power supplied to the
cigarette lighter socket as soon as the vehicle ignition is turned on and will start the radio
automatically. When the ignition is turned off, the DAB adapter will perform an automatic
shutdown process after a set time which can be adjusted in the menu.
Note:
If the vehicle in which the DAB adapter is installed has permanent live cigarette lighter
sockets, the user can simply use the power button on the bottom of the unit to switch the
adapter off.
To take advantage of the Automatic Start / Stop Technology a Nextbase Hardwire Kit can
be installed on a switch-live power supply.
1. Tips for using the DAB adapter:
1.1 Make sure that the Antenna is correctly installed. Follow the instructions on page
12 to ensure that the DAB adapter receives the best signal.
1.2 If using the DAB adapter in a vehicle with stop/start technology in which the cigarette
lighter socket does not supply power when the engine stops, change the auto power
off time to 5 minutes so that in when the cigarette lighter socket stops supplying
power, your DAB radio adapter remains on.
1.3 If a radio station is not present within the stations list, try performing a full scan.
